Many flights delayed, canceled on year's busiest travel day

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – On this busiest travel day of the year, Alex Holley reported live at Myrtle Beach International Airport, and is watching closely for any delays and cancellations. Check the links below for information on your flights.

Due to yesterday's severe weather across the eastern United States, many airlines are offering waivers and compensation for flight issues. This is big because the rescheduling fees normally cost up to $200, so it can save travelers the money and the headache. Myrtle Beach International Airport officials say this is a traveling situation where travelers want to stay on top of their flight status.

"You want to call in ahead of time, work with your airlines, check to see if there's any kind of weather delays," explained Courtenay Leopard, with MYR. "If there's any, they'll work with you and you can schedule another flight. But please contact the airlines."
